Abstract

A system and method for synchronizing billing information and maintaining original calling party information when providing an enhanced communication service. A communication is received from a first network element and directed to a feature access code. In connection with the communication, a string of data is received containing call information for correction of parameters of a call structure. In response to receiving the communication directed to the feature access code, the string of data is manipulated within the parameters of the call structure based on instructions provided by a database, whereby original calling party information located in the call structure is retained and billing information is ultimately synchronized with an associated subscriber. Advantageously, the tasks of synchronizing billing information and maintaining call origination are accomplished by providing a standard format for processing long strings of data representing information on how a call is to be configured and by reformatting the data fields based on this information so that the final call structure resembles that of the original call structure.
